In the front view of the mosque is a beautiful lake. The back view of the mosque are mountains. On the grounds of the mosque is a bazaar, or marketplace, which gets incredibly busy on Fridays, the holiest of the 7 days in Islam. In addition, there is a shrine at the mosque, as there is at many large mosques in India. The shrine, being the biggest in Kashmir, is a shrine to the holy PhrophetMuhammad (pbuh). The hair of the holy Phrophet (pbuh) is available for view at the mosque, which is known as the Moi-e-Muqqadus. Many Muslims consider it a blessing to view the hair of their Phrophet (pbuh).
